Guo Dongyue had been hiding his anxiety under his calm appearance, because he didn't know if he could find the pair of lovebirds in his memory here. He had visited some pet shops before, and he had also visited the Stars Pet Chain Supermarket in Xi District. He had also visited the largest pet trading center in Binhai City – the dog market. However, pet shops and pet supermarkets basically did not sell parrots. Although there were many parrots in the dog market, none of them were the ones he remembered.
Not only that, but he also looked in the e-commerce website, but there were only common parrots on the e-commerce website, and there were basically no rare parrots.
When he saw the pair of parrots on the branch, he finally felt relieved, and his anxiety disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Zian felt relieved when he heard that he had found his target. He stopped paying attention to the black-collared peony, and looked up at the pair of parrots that Guo Dongyue was pointing at. Coincidentally, one of them seemed to be shy of being stared at by everyone, so Zhang Zian was able to get a full view of it.
Their chests and abdomens were yellowish-green, and their backs were darker, mostly emerald green. There was a blue patch above their tail feathers. The most obvious difference was their faces and necks. One was bright red, and the other was yellow-orange. Their claws were a beautiful silver-grey. The two of them leaned against each other intimately. The one with the bright red head stuck its beak into its partner's neck and combed its feathers. The one with the yellow head didn't stay idle either. It used its beak to clean the food residue on its partner's beak. They looked extremely loving.
F * ck! Zhang Zian's first reaction wasn't to know what kind of parrot it was, but that even parrots were showing off to dogs these days …
Wei Kang looked up and said, "No wonder you want to look for it here. Although this kind of parrot is not as rare as the black-collared parrot, few people raise it."
"This kind of parrot is also picky?" Zhang Zian asked subconsciously.
"No, because they can only be raised in pairs, otherwise it is very difficult to raise them." Wei Kang said, "This kind of parrot is called the red-faced peony. If lovebirds are lovebirds, then red-faced peonies are the lovebirds of lovebirds. "He pointed to one of them and said," The red-faced one is male, and the yellow-faced one is female. This kind of bird is extremely strict when it comes to choosing a mate. Basically, it can only rely on nature to find a mate. It's very difficult for humans to interfere. "
Guo Dongyue didn't care about that. He asked eagerly, "How much for this pair of birds? I want to buy it. "
Wei Kang hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
Guo Dongyue's heart sank. He thought it was expensive, or it was not for sale.
"Money is not a problem — CEO Lu has already said that if you want it, I can give it to you directly." Wei Kang pondered and said, "I don't know why you want this kind of parrot, but I want to remind you that red-faced peonies are very difficult to raise, so very few people raise them. Also … "
Guo Dongyue didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just the parrots, as long as they could eat and drink well. "What else?"
"Look at how intimate they are. It's like they're glued to each other. There's no space between them." Wei Kang gestured for him to observe carefully.
"So?" Guo Dongyue didn't understand what Wei Kang meant.
"They don't have deep feelings for their owners like other parrots, do you understand? They would only pour their emotions into each other, and their master could only be ranked third. No matter how long you raise them, they will only play with each other, "Wei Kang explained.
Guo Dongyue thought about it and felt that it was not a big deal. He just wanted the pair of red-faced lovebirds to stay with his mother for a while, as long as they could. As long as his mother was happy during this period of time, he didn't want to think too much about it.
Zhang Zian raised a small question, "I remember you said that your mother called her two parrots' Little Purple 'and' Yellow Pea Cake. 'The female one looks like Yellow Pea Cake, but the male one doesn't look like' purple, 'right?" He raised this question because he was worried that Guo Dongyue had bought the wrong parrots.
Guo Dongyue answered very simply, "Because my mother has a weak sense of color, she thinks the blue area behind them is purple."
"Oh." Zhang Zian was a little embarrassed. He felt that he was worrying too much.
Wei Kang walked to the nearest empty birdcage, unscrewed the cap of his own bottle of mineral water, drank a few mouthfuls to moisten his throat, and then poured the rest of the water into the basin in the birdcage. He turned around and walked some distance away.
Not long after he left, the two red-headed lovebirds flew off the branches almost at the same time. They flapped their wings and flew into the birdcage one after another to drink the water in the basin.
Wei Kang walked over slowly, closed the door of the cage, took down the cage and handed it to Guo Dongyue.
"Here you are. Take it. The cage is also for you. "
Guo Dongyue took the cage with joy and excitement. He stared at the two red-headed lovebirds as if they were treasures.
"Be careful, this kind of parrot is very difficult to raise," Wei Kang reminded him again.
Guo Dongyue was very excited, but he didn't care much about Wei Kang's warning. He just wanted to take them back as soon as possible, as if he was afraid that Wei Kang and Lü Mingyi would suddenly change their minds.
"Is it because they are not suitable to be raised in cages?" Zhang Zian was a calm and objective third party, so he didn't ignore Wei Kang's reminder.
"It's hard to say." Wei Kang shook his head, "But it should be somewhat related. No animal had evolved to live in a cage, and this was especially true for birds that were born with wings. In short, the survival rate of red-headed lovebirds raised by individuals is very low. Even in the superior open environment of Phoenix House, where there are professional bird doctors, the survival rate of red-headed lovebirds is less than 50%. If it were someone else, I wouldn't recommend raising them... but you must have your reasons for asking for this kind of parrot, so I won't say anything more. "
Wei Kang said it seriously, and Zhang Zian believed that he was not being alarmist. It seemed that the red-headed lovebirds were really difficult to raise. Zhang Zian couldn't help but feel uncertain, because the two parrots would definitely be left in his pet shop, and Richard would try to teach them to talk. If they died while being raised, he would be ashamed to face the people of the Jiangdong area.
"One more thing," Wei Kang added. "For this kind of parrot, when its partner dies, the other will be immersed in pain all day long, and probably won't live for more than a few days. Usually, both of them die at the same time."
Zhang Zian was in awe of the red-headed lovebirds. They were so faithful to love that even human beings, who claimed to be the most intelligent of all creatures, were dwarfed by them. They were indeed the lovebirds of all lovebirds.
Seeing that Guo Dongyue was in a hurry to leave, Wei Kang didn't ask him to stay any longer. He told them a few key points about the red-headed lovebirds' diet. Zhang Zian remembered them one by one. Even an expert like Wei Kang was so cautious, it seemed that the red-headed lovebirds were really difficult to raise.
Wei Kang personally saw them out after he finished explaining everything that needed to be said.
